Should I go to Headingley tomorrow? (I did and what entertainment it was)

[gocricketgo]

Guys I have tickets for day 3 but given the match could be over in 5 balls and almost certainly before lunch, is it worth going? Especially because after the 1.5 hour drive with ?20 petrol there is ?10 parking etc. What you think?

 

[SciD]

Go enjoy the Ashes feeling.

I once went for just 2 hours of Test match cricket when Pakistan came here in India. Ofcourse Sehwag made our day by smacking some balls.

but its so depressing and even if prior makes a hundred and they bat till lunch they will still lose

 

[gocricketgo]

Well after a tricky decision me and my dad have decided to go - let's hope its a good call and England pull off the best comeback ever! Here's Hoping anyway. Of we didn't go they were bound to do something special so we mightas well go early and absorb the atmosphere etc. Wish me luck!

I don't think so - you'll be spending an extra ?30 and for what? Are you entitled to any money back if play finishes before lunch, because you should be!

 

[gocricketgo]

only due to rain if there is less than 30 overs do you get a refund
however providing it finishes tomorrow then the day 4 people will get a full refund because there is no play at all. Day 5 tickets for there game are all NO REFUND whatever happens.

Meh, you've already paid for the tickets. Might as well go. Get the others fans to join in with a few chants to rile up the ECB. 'He's Big. He's Bad. He's playing cause of his Dad! STUART BROAD'. Etc. Boo Punter everytime he touches the ball. Have a fun time.

It's why day five tickets are cheap.

Oh, what the hell - it's only money, eh? Go along if you've got the tickets and there's no refund for day five, and sample the atmosphere.

exactly my thoughts

 

[irottev]

I wouldn't bother if it were me.

 

[Mercules]

Go, you might just see history in the making. Although I somewhat doubt it.

 

[OffCutters]

Go, see how cricket is meant to be played. See the English Tail go for ducks.

 

[Dutch]

Good on yer for going. I would have done the same. Enjoy yourself. You don't get many opportunities to see test cricket so what the hell....

I had been looking forward to this for 4 years......I've managed to cancel my hotel this morning luckily got refund....will also get refund on Day 4 tickets. ........But I've lost my money on my flights over from ireland and for Day 5 tickets which amounts to 140quid in total!!! :crying
